Jiang Shu and Hou Tingke turned their heads at the same time when they heard the sound, but they saw that on a winding gravel path nearby, Zhu Xuanrao held Zhu Changxun's arm with both hands and walked slowly to this side.

"Brother Chang Xun, why are you here?" Hou Tingke hurriedly strode forward.

Although she left the table because Zhu Changxun felt uncomfortable with her lukewarm attitude towards her at the banquet just now, but now that Jiang Shu is here, she can't let her see that there is a gap between her and Zhu Changxun, so she naturally has to show a very enthusiastic look.

"The banquet was over, and I felt that it was too early, so I went around with Xuan Rao." Zhu Changxun stopped slightly, pulled the corners of his lips lightly, and looked past her to look at Jiang Shu behind her, "By the way, why are you together?" ”

"This ......" Hou Tingke had a look of hesitation on his face, turned his head and glanced at Jiang Shu behind him, and was a little unsure of how to answer.

"That's right," Jiang Shu stepped forward unhurriedly and said with a light smile, "I went to visit my second brother-in-law in Chufang Xinyuan, and I met Miss Hou on the way back. ”

"Is that so?" Zhu Xuanrao turned her head to look at Hou Tingke on the side, looking obviously disbelieving.

In her opinion, this "encounter" should be true, but "hand in hand in the garden" may not be true.

According to Hou Tingke's character, when she encounters someone who gets in her way on the road, the only thing she will do is probably to provoke and make things difficult.

"Of course!" Jiang Shu didn't tell the truth, and Hou Tingke naturally wouldn't take the initiative to confess in order to avoid Zhu Changxun from having any bad opinions about her.

After a pause, she added: "People also say in the drama, 'If you don't go to the garden, how can you know that spring is as promised'." This garden is full of spring, how can it be easily disappointed! ”

"Sharp teeth, without a word of truth, the ghost believes what you say!" Zhu Xuanrao glared at her with disdain, and had no intention of dwelling on this matter anymore, her eyes moved to Jiang Shu next to her and said, "Third sister-in-law, there will be a grass fighting competition by Shichahai in three days, you can go with it." ”

"I'm ......" Jiang Shu hesitated slightly, and slightly tilted his head to look at Zhu Changxun on the opposite side.

His one-month lockdown period had not yet expired, and the grounding had been proposed to the old lady by this person, and as for whether he could go and participate, he had to ask for his opinion.

However, people didn't seem to see her expectant gaze at all, standing there gracefully, with clear eyes and a smile, but they didn't say anything.

Jiang Shu had no choice but to excuse himself: "I lied that time to go to Shichahai with the county lord, went out of the city to Shijingshan without permission, and went out late to return late, and was grounded by my grandmother for a month. This time, it was also because the second sister's child was over the full moon that I made an exception to come out once, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave the house for a while. ”

"How so?" Zhu Xuanrao couldn't help frowning, turned her head to look at Zhu Changxun beside her, and said, "Brother Chang Xun, didn't I ask you to go to Yefu to relieve the siege for the third sister-in-law that day?" ”

"County Lord, Lord Wang, he has done his best," Jiang Shu glanced at Zhu Changxun again, took two steps forward, gently pulled her wrist and said, "I have made mistakes, and I will always be punished, if it weren't for the prince, I'm afraid it would be as simple as just grounding." ”

Although there are a lot of complaints about him grounding himself in his heart, it is good to say this in private, and not giving him face in front of others will not benefit him at all.
